This Egyptian Revival Moses basket charm is a finely detailed antique pendant and would make a unique charm necklace or symbolic keepsake. Crafted in silver gilt and stamped 800, it dates to the early 20th century and reflects the Egyptian Revival movement. This Egyptian Revival Moses basket charm opens to reveal a removable Moses figure, therefore combining narrative design with careful workmanship.

Design & Craftsmanship

The charm is formed as a miniature woven basket, rendered in silver with a warm gilt finish that has mellowed with age. The exterior shows textured basket detailing, which gives depth and visual interest. A hinged lid opens smoothly, and inside sits a small removable Moses figure, shaped in relief and backed with soft blue fabric. The interior construction feels considered and secure, while the hinge and clasp function well. The 800 silver mark confirms continental silver, and the gilt surface adds richness without overpowering the detail.

Why We Love This Charm

We love this charm because it feels intimate and story led. The removable Moses adds surprise, while the basket form feels tender and symbolic. It is small, yet it carries real meaning and charm.

This 1920s charm suits people with unique taste who enjoy jewellery with narrative and historic symbolism. It looks beautiful worn alone on a fine chain or on an antique charm bracelet.  Because of its detail and form, it suits collectors and those drawn to unusual designs.
